Singapore
I'm gonna write about the culture and just all around Singaporean way. I thought, "The difference between America and Singapore is like the ocean and desert." I mean, here are some examples of what you hear in a Singaporean conversation:
1. You'll hear hokkien & kantonese (different dialects of chinese) being thrown around the table.
2. With all the Singapore slang and 'Singlish' I don't know if foreigners can even understand half of what is being said.
3. Remember when I said we were eating lunch? Well, they were talking about other great places for food. Maybe they also do it in America, but it's different. Knowing great food places are one of the top subjects for a lot of people.
4. They talked about great places to get durian. Hmmm...some people don't even know what a durian is. The speakers that come to my church -who are american or european- always say they don't know how people can eat it. Considering it smells AWFUL. hahas! While people here will search for the perfect durian place....
So, in conclusion: Singapore is absolutley, completly and UTTERLY different from any country. Though it's a unique, and kinda odd country, it's definantly a great place. The weather isn't the best, either hot, or rainy. Then it'll be humid, but that only means swimming is totally big here! For the end of this post I'll write:
SINGAPORE ROCKS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
